November 29 was a very important day for Sebastian Vettel. On a damp track, he took his first laps in a Ferrari at the team's test circuit in Fiorano, Italy. 

He was finally out on his own, away from the Red Bull family who had nurtured his career since he was a teenager and with whom he won four Formula One world championships.



November 29 was also a very important day for Ferrari. It marked the end of the once-promising Fernando Alonso era and the beginning of the Vettel era. The last time a world champion German driver joined the Scuderia, he ended up winning five drivers' titles.

The test was an emotional experience for Vettel, who grew up watching his countryman Michael Schumacher win those championships for Ferrari in the early 2000s.

After his day at Fiorano, Vettel told the Ferrari website:

One of those fans climbing the walls for a glimpse of Vettel in a Ferrari was Lorenzo Santi. Born in Florence, the 24-year-old computer engineer has lived in Fiorano since he was three. He has been breathing Ferrari exhaust fumes nearly his entire life.

A Ferrari fan since birth, it had been years since Santi had been to the track to watch a Ferrari test, despite living just a few kilometres away. "It is like living next to the Colosseum or next to the Niagara Falls," he said. "You don’t go visiting those awesome places everyday because you know you can go there when you want!" ...
